A poem that scan stand on its head for you. It bounces off the page with the rhythm of its reality. A well crafted admission of the depths of love in the easy stages of verse.10.

A wonderful piece and had you said You are and added the last line in each stanza it would have been a poem on it's own--10

How dry and dull life is to him without her love, but it is sweet and bright when he feels her love's presence. Interesting piece.

This poem is perfect - full of rhyme, rhythm and heartfelt sentiment. 'Without your precious love / I’d be as hollow as a lie' is a superb simile. S :)

Beautifully written with rhyme and rhythm and with much sensitivity and purpose. I love how the last line in each stanza is not a repetition which it could be, but it changes with every stanza. 10 Love Karin

Hi John - Love makes us use some powerful metaphores and yours display the extremes of Positivity and Negativity. The negatives are very emotive 'The empty drum' 'The keyless lock' 'The hoiiowness of a lie' 'the turfless garden'. In my experience these mataphores are very very apt - for the HOLLOWNESS one feels when the object of our love has departed 'Without your preciuos love...........' The positives are mega! V 1 The Cosmos V 2 The Hydrosphere V 3 The Atmosphere V 4 The Lithosphere & The Biosphere - In fact 'The entire World / Universe! ! ! '. This is a classically structured poem - four quatrains - excellent metre - excellent and consistent rhyme pattern and consistent repetition which makes it excellent to recite. It merits a MAX. Yours in Poetry - JOHN

nice combination between a repetitive verse, a simile and an extended metaphor: ''Without your precious love I’d be as hollow as a lie You’re my entire world My clouds, my wind, my sky'' wonderful lyric poem, lovely rhymes, thank you for sharing....10+++++
